Risk Profile
"I get a knot in my stomach"-Anonymous
In an article by Jocelyn Glei I learned of five primary types of risks. I would like to explore these in
next five posts.
First type of risk is physical. I am sure you have heard the quoted expression. Physically you feel that what you are about to do will put your body in danger. You might not get the knot but your hands might get sweaty. Your ears might get red. The response is very unique to you as a person.
I mentioned in another post that I do not like to handle snakes. So I do not. The risk is a physical
fear. What if I get bitten? The reality is that if I handled a snake that the probability of getting bitten is so small. So my conclusion is to get over this fear next time I am around a snake. This is my way of using logic to convince myself that the physical risk is not worth fearing.
How about bungee jumping? I also don't care for extreme heights. So jumping over is a physical risk that the rubber band would break.In reality it is not the fear of heights but fear of jumping into the unknown.
I better start with the snakes.
Today's question its:
"what do you consider a physical risk?"
